Give them slopes shit DON !!! …

The US president has repeatedly accused China of failings in its response to the coronavirus outbreak.

Beijing denies the allegation. Earlier this month , the Chinese foreign ministry said the country had ” all along been in good communication and co-operation ” with the WHO and had “never attempted to manipulate the organisation”.

Also in the letter , Mr Trump :

• Cites reports that the WHO delayed an emergency declaration under pressure from President Xi Jinping
• Criticises the agency’s praise of China’s ” transparency ” amid its censorship and lack of international co-operation
• Accuses the WHO of failing to comment on virus-related discrimination against Africans within China
• Says Dr Tedros could have saved ” many lives ” if he had acted more like Dr Harlem Brundtland , the WHO chief during the Sars outbreak of 2003

Mr Trump , in his conclusion , alleges that ” repeated missteps ” by Dr Tedros and the WHO had been ” extremely costly for the world “…

” The only way forward for the World Health Organization is if it can actually demonstrate independence from China ” his letter says.

Mr Trump then calls for the organisation to commit to ” major substantive improvements ” within 30 days , without clarifying what this means.

MORBNOTE ; The writer of this article seems to miss the ‘ clarity ‘ of the Trumpster’s statement … ” Unless you show me you have stopped kissin’ China’s ass … We’re not gonna finance ya ! ‘ …

Without these changes , the president says , the US will make his temporary freeze of US funding permanent and ” reconsider our membership in the organisation ” altogether …

This is what happens when immigrants get into government positions …

Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux recently admitted that his previous estimate of the debt Canada will face due to coronavirus pandemic relief spending – $252 billion – was too optimistic : our federal debt will in all likelihood shoot up to $1 trillion or more.

Meanwhile , because of coronavirus shutdown measures , Canada’s unemployment rate has risen to 13% ( as compared to 5.5% in January 2020 ) , with two million jobs lost in April.

Many are questioning how we will get on the road to economic recovery , and Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino hinted at an answer earlier this month.

“ Immigration will absolutely be key to our success and our economic recovery … We continue to rely on immigration, it will be an economic driver and this will be the North Star of our policy going forward ” said Mendicino.

It will likely be difficult to convince Canadians facing an unemployment crisis that we should be pleased about resuming the plan to welcome one million new immigrants within the next three years. It’s likely we will soon be facing heavy government messaging trying to convince us of the economic virtues of immigration. When they do , we should have an understanding of the facts.

Mendicino and other immigration enthusiasts often cite Canada’s aging population as the reason why higher immigration levels are required. For Canada’s population to replace itself , we would need a total fertility rate of 2.1 children per woman , but this figure currently sits at 1.54. Canadians are having fewer children , which has caused concern that we will not have enough future workers and taxpayers to fund our social programs. Thus , many proclaim that immigration is the only answer.

As Minister Mendicino said in March , “ immigration is the only solution.”

Mendicino’s predecessor Ahmed Hussen has echoed this sentiment : “ Why do we need immigration ? Well , five million Canadians are set to retire by 2035. And we have fewer people working to support seniors and retirees.”

Gee , I wonder why a fella named Ahmed Hussen would be selling immigration ?! …

However , a policy piece authored by three economists concluded “ immigration is not a solution to demographic problems such as population ageing ” and “ What a large body of evidence indicates is that immigration is neither good nor bad for the economy , as assessed by its impact on the living standards of current citizens.”

Immigration is not a solution to an aging workforce because working-age immigrants bring along dependents such as small children , non-working spouses and parents or grandparents.

According to W. Craig Riddell et al.:

“ … newly arrived immigrants are a net drag on government budgets : they pay less in taxes on average and make average or slightly above average use of government services and benefits. Second-generation immigrants do well , however , which may offset this net drag to some extent , but the initial impact of a large increase in immigration should be expected to be an increase in taxes , a decrease in services , an increase in deficits , or some combination of the three.”

Precisely !!! …
